In late May, Frazier heard a kitten meowing from the inside the body of his truck and used a pair of metal cutters to cut open his truck bed and rescue a kitten. "I was mind blown (when I heard about it) because nobody really does that," said Geragi, 11. "I thought that was really nice because you don't see that every day." Frazier, who met the cat's new owner for the first time Saturday, said the reaction he's gotten from others has been very special. "I feel blessed," said Frazier. "I saved her and she saved me." The cat, now named Angel, has since been adopted by Lorie Roberts who was on hand to thank Frazier for his efforts. "I found out after I adopted (Angel)," said Roberts. "I'm thankful that he saved the kitten. If it hadn't been for him I would never met her."
